The Simple Root plant-based cooking sauces are arriving as the brand's first products to the market that are aimed at providing consumers with a vegan-friendly way to prepare a range of recipes.
The sauces come in four varieties including Spicy Satay Style Sauce, Creamy Pesto Style Sauce, Creamy Simply White Sauce and Truffle & Ch**se Style Sauce. Each of the sauces are arriving in the UK with a suggested price point of £3.95 each, and are expected to be joined with Plant-Based Dips, Cheeses & Desserts over the next 12-months.
CEO Louise Wyler spoke on the new The Simple Root plant-based cooking sauces saying, "Cooking sauces are a very traditional category. They often contain high levels of sugar, salt and fat, and can sit in the cupboard for months. Over the last 20 years, we’ve seen many categories move from jars, tins and packets to fresh, including soup, juices, and most recently chocolate. It’s now time for the cooking sauces category to be brought up to date, and made for how people want to eat now: fresh, plant-based and better-for-you."
